ABOUT US

The Cheongye Kwan offers its members a comprehensive self defence program by training them in techniques of Taekwondo Striking, Yudo Grappling and Hapkido Locking , as well as training in the use of Mugi (Martial Arts Weapons) such as Sword and Nunchuku. Our team of professional instructors are here to help you achieve your goals regardless of your age, skill level or ambition, all in a safe and fun learning environment.

Although the Martial Arts were initially designed for combat, we believe it is far more than just learning how to fight or a form of physical exercise. Our goal is to help you become a complete person who is physically fit and mentally sharp, as well as intellectually and spiritually centred.

The Cheongye Kwan Daehando Institute (CKDI) was founded in 2005, and since then we have grown to be an outstanding Martial Arts association in the Much Hoole area of Preston. The Cheongye Kwan founder and Martial Arts Hall of Fame nominee Master Barry Cook and his staff are committed to providing a safe and family friendly, yet dynamic and empowering self defence program for you, or your children.

The Cheongye Kwan offers a comprehensive curriculum, based on traditional Korean Martial Arts, and what makes us truly unique is that we are a complete Martial Arts centre, with an educational program. Our instructors are certified and highly trained with years of experience., headed by Master Cook, they help each and every one of our students realise their full potential within the Martial Arts, and go through rigorous instructor training in order to be better teachers and we take our role with an intense commitment toward professionalism.

We work hard to provide and maintain a high quality of instruction for our students by maintaining a low student teacher ratio. Our ratio for beginners is less than 4 to 1 and we believe in providing the most personalised instruction for all our students. We also offer private lessons for those that want to excel at a more rapid and advanced pace. All our lessons are carefully designed and tested over time to be age and skill level specific so everyone can learn our comprehensive curriculum progressively and safely. We have yearly, quarterly, monthly and weekly lesson plans organized so our students always have a clear idea of what to expect in class.

We believe in having a strong structure, having a good organisation and a good system of training in place is important for delivering consistent and progressive results. We present traditional Martial Arts using systematic and scientific methods in a fun, dynamic format and our top priority is to give exceptional self defence classes. Whilst we are committed to maintaining integrity and instilling the method of our art, we try hard to make the workout fun, and engaging. Members will feel challenged, excited and relieved from stress after each and every class they take.

We practice high level Martial Arts and train our students to be tough without becoming callous or mean spirited. To go along with high level techniques, we believe in instilling positive values and humanitarian ethics and believe good characteristics are essential for success in life and we want our students to be a champion in defence and in life. This is the true value of the Cheongye Kwan and traditional Martial Arts with a strong emphasis on character building.

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU IN A CLASS SOON!
